What food do you serve?

We serve traditional rustic barbecue. Smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs and loaded baked potatoes to name a few.

What kind of wood do you use to smoke your meat?

We lightly smoke our meat using Arizona Pecan Wood.

Is your restaurant gluten free?

We are gluten free friendly. 90% of our menu is made without gluten-containing ingredients including all of our meats, sauces and sides. We do prepare baked goods in house, so we cannot guarantee that any of our food is 100% gluten free.

Do you sell out every day?

We prepare limited amounts of fresh BBQ and sides every day. We may not sell out of every item every day, but there is a good chance that we sell out of some items in the evening time before 8pm.

Do you offer catering services?

We offer large order pickup but do not offer delivery or onsite catering services. If you need help building a menu or ordering the right amount of food, give us a call and we will assist, or visit our Catering page at https://cryincoyotebbq.com/bbq-catering/

Do you take reservations?

We do not take reservations. We are a counter service restaurant. All seating is first come first served. We do have 2 dining rooms and a large partially covered patio.

Is your patio pet-friendly?

Yes! We have a permitted pet-friendly patio for well-behaved companions.

Best tasting BBQ ribs we've had in a LONG time! The BBQ beef brisket sandwich was also very good. There's a BBQ restaurant in Colorado that we always compare other BBQ to, and while Cryin' Coyote didn't beat it, it's definitely #2 on our list & the drive is much shorter! Atmosphere is pretty basic, and seating is adequate.

First time dining there this evening. I’m from Texas and I know Texas barbecue and this place didn’t disappoint. Great, moist, tasty brisket. Good choice of sauces. We’ll definitely be going back!!

The sausages were excellent. And believe them when they tell you the andouille sausage is spicier than the jalapeno cheddar. Neither are too spicy but the jalapeno is very mild. Brisket was great as was the pulled pork. And I really liked the potato salad which I usually don’t like elsewhere. Service was very friendly at the counter (I took it to go). And the sauces were great, especially the spicy on they have behind the counter.
